One councilman is saying it’s time for the city to implement more drastic water conservation measures, and he’s urging the city to come up with a plan for what to do if the Gallinas River, which provides 90 percent of our drinking water, goes dry.

“I’m sort of pulling the alarm here,” Councilman Andrew Feldman said. “But in this situation, plan for the worst, hope for the best.”

Andrea Gottschalk had just replaced windows on her Bridge Street store that had been vandalized when thieves struck, damaging the glass door.

“I was broken into twice. Once in March and once in April,” said Gottschalk, who owns Unikat Fine Jewelry.

She and other business owners in the Plaza and Bridge Street area are praising the decision to install surveillance cameras in the area, hoping that the new additions will deter vandals and thieves in the first place, and if not, that they will help police catch the culprits.

DENVER — What is believed to be the only surviving authenticated portrait of Billy the Kid went up for auction in Denver on Saturday and sold for $2.3 million.

The tintype on Saturday evening went to private collector William Koch at Brian Lebel’s 22nd Annual Old West Show & Auction, where auction spokeswoman Melissa McCracken said the image of the 1800s outlaw was the most expensive piece ever sold at the event.
